‘Divorces are rising at an alarming rate in Saudi Arabia. It has the second highest rate of divorces in the world. The marriage court registers 40 marriages and 20 divorces a day. According to a study conducted by Dr. Ebtisam Halawani at King Abdul Aziz University, main reasons for women, leaving their spouses was ill-treatment and violence. Polygamy was responsible for up to 55% of divorces while involvement of husbands in illicit affairs accounted for 38% of divorces. It shows that not allowing one to know the person who one is going to marry does not guarantee conjugal bliss.’ Source: Times Online

And what is your little edit supposed to provide towards this particular debate? Saudi Arabia does not have the same concept of arranged marriages as the Desi culture. Yeah, how does ill-treatment and violence come into this? Are you correlating domestic abuse with arranged marriages? Because if you are then I don’t think you’ll see any sense in my posts (Not that you are already). How does polygamy come into this? How does illicit affairs come into this? I don’t see why the introduction of those statistics has to do with arranged/love marriages? Are you saying love marriages are immune to abuse/polygamy/cheating? Correct answer would be No, for your own sake.

^Still no references, nothing but own opinion.. I’m well-aware how arranged-marriages work in KSA, sometimes the guys pick girls they might have seen somewhere but more often the family (esp the mothers and sisters check her out) but either way they have little to no interaction before marriage the same way desis traditionally do.. It’s interesting u don’t class those as ‘arranged marriages’ when everyone else seems to (BBC, The Times, Wikipedia, even the Arabs themselves)..

Yeah I’ve pretty much spent my whole life in the GCC so I’m inclined to say I know a wee bit more than you about Khaleeji culture. Again, your definition of arranged and their definition of arranged is different. You’re trying to call it a guy seeing a girl and picking her out as a partner and taking the proposal as opposed to parents picking out someone and just approving them. Not the same.

Better to have 500 references than trying to present ur own opinion as fact

Meh this is probably the tenth time I’m using this damned word. Correlation! Correlation! Correlation!
